Draymond Green led an early spurt with a pair of three-pointers, propelling the Golden State Warriors to a 115-104 win over the Utah Jazz in their Western Conference semi-final series.           

Green (21), Kevin Durant (25) and Stephen Curry (23) all topped 20 points for the Warriors, who take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series to Salt Lake City for games three and four.

The Jazz's Gordon Hayward led all scorers with 33 points and Rudy Gobert had 16 points and 16 rebounds.

The Warriors survived a scare early in the fourth quarter when Green fell to the court while trying an awkward driving shot.               

The All-Star forward quickly regained his feet but grabbed at his left knee as he dropped back to the court. Green was able to walk to the locker room and ultimately returned to the game.
